Aim: How do we find the value of trigonometric functions of double angles?(These formulas will be on the Regents Reference sheet)
By the end of the lesson, you will be able to...
apply the formulas for sin (A+B), cos (A+B), and tan (A+B) to discover the formulas for sin(2x), cos(2x), and tan(2x)
verify the validity of the formulas for the sine, cosine, and tangent of the angle 2x
apply the formulas for sin (2x), cos (2x), and tan (2x) to find the exact value of expressions involving angles measured in radians and degrees
state the double-angle formulas in words
For the first video, copy down the following into your notebooks and answer them whil watching the video.
1. What is the formula for sin (2x)?
2. What is the formula for cos (2x)?
3. Using the same strategy, develop the formula for tan (2x). Do this after you watch the video
This video will show you how to use a problem to find different answers not just double angles. Ignore the last example with half angle formulas. Just watch what the instructor does with sum or difference and the double angle.
